Hey,

Thought I'd welcome you to the site as I have been getting anxiety and pure O OCD type thoughts for a while, flipping scary ain't it?!

I've been on this site for a couple of weeks and it's already helped me as I know understand better that it's not just me and also that it's only a thought!

Take care,
Roz

Hello Andy

Welcome - well done for the battles won

How do your issues present. Are your thoughts constant ?

What sort of help have you had so far ?

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

My physical symptoms from the anxiety shift a lot. Just about any symptom out there I have felt it.
The ones that are always there are the rapid heartbeat, and constant worry.

The Pure-O OCD side of it is not constant; it comes in waves of intense obsessions (usually about my health) and in some cases fear of contamination. I also get intrusive thoughts. I have no out ward compulsions. all my compulsions are mental. (Like repeating things in my head over and over)

On the days when I cant shut my mind off from the worry and obsessions I take .25 mg of xanax and it stops the thoughts in their tracks.
